As mentioned by loads of other people, this bass looks awesome. But unfortunately that is the only redeeming quality it has. The electronics were and are abysmal. The volume pot still had about 50% output when turned all the way down. The pickups were and are very noisy. Initially I thought it was a case of bad grounding, but that wasn't the problem. What the problem is, no one seems to be able to figure out. I took this thing to two different guitar repair shops and neither of them could solve the issues. So far I have spent about 200 Euros on having the thing fixed, which is more than the bass costs. So unless you really don't care about reliability and sound, I would give this one a pass. The only reason I haven't returned it is because I wouldn't want anyone to pick this up as a b-stock.
